I shoot everything that moves, everything that doesn\u2019t move, and everything that <em data-start=\"650\" data-end=\"658\">might<\/em> move. Zero judgment. Zero standards.

I went back with the pressure to photograph it \u201cwell,\u201d this time with experience, with a trained eye, and with the fear that my memory might betray me. On the first day, I didn\u2019t even take the camera out of the bag. I simply walked, observed, and reconnected with the places that remained unchanged in my memory from my student days. I needed to reconnect with the city, to listen to it, to feel it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"578\" data-end=\"923\" class=\"translation-block\">The next day, with the camera already hanging around my neck, I didn\u2019t know where to start. I didn\u2019t want to fall into the obvious, the easy postcard shots. And it was only when I stopped that I realized the city had a pulse.

1971 La manera en la que llegu\u00e9 al mundo de la fotograf\u00eda fue por casualidad.

Aquel curso de iniciaci\u00f3n al revelado de fotograf\u00eda en blanco y negro en el instituto al que una amiga me pidi\u00f3 que me apuntara con ella fue el punto de inflexi\u00f3n en mi vida.

Quiero pensar que en otra vida me volver\u00e9 a decantar por la fotograf\u00eda, para bien o para mal. Por supuesto, por aquel entonces, la fotograf\u00eda era lo que se llama ahora anal\u00f3gica, con carretes, reveladores, ba\u00f1os de paro, rom\u00e1nticas luces rojas y olores a todo tipo de qu\u00edmicos menos rom\u00e1nticos. Jam\u00e1s en la vida se me dio bien el dibujo. As\u00ed que decid\u00ed probar suerte a ingresar en La Escuela de Arte de Oviedo y estudiar fotograf\u00eda. Las pruebas de ingreso requer\u00edan pasar unos ex\u00e1menes de historia del arte. Pero tambi\u00e9n pasar una prueba de dibujo. Era la primera vez en mi vida que ten\u00eda una caballete de pintura delante de mis narices. A pocos metros la examinadora dispuso un bodeg\u00f3n de frutas a su antojo. -Ten\u00e9is que reinterpretar este bodeg\u00f3n,- espet\u00f3. Yo no sab\u00eda si dejar el lienzo en blanco y largarme o probar suerte a ver si sonaba la flauta. Opt\u00e9 por esta \u00faltima consideraci\u00f3n. Eleg\u00ed la t\u00e9cnica abstracta.
